They are also great for slicing pastries and tomatoes.
Made in Seki, Japan, the Al Mar "Ultra Chef" knife is classic and state of the art in performance. The blade of the Ultra Chef Bread Knife is forged from 420J stainless steel and hardened to Rc 55-57 so that it holds up to the tough job of slicing hard European breads. In the best tradition of knife making, a steel ferrule is forge-welded to the tang to ensure that food particles cannot become lodged between the tang and the handle. These knives are incredibly strong, light in the hand, well balanced, and extremely sharp. The handles are made from select cocobolo wood, long considered one of the world's most exotic hardwoods. High in natural oils, cocobolo holds up well under heavy kitchen use. Each knife comes individually gift boxed.Availability: In stock. Usually ships in 1-2 business days
